Fish Printing 101

A few months ago a friend of mine's son caught this 40 lb. Ulua and being his first one had to get it printed.  They brought it over to gyotaku artist "Crow" and he got to work.  Step one is easy, just apply some black paint and print.

Step two is hard, this is where the fish is brought back to life.  With a lot of attention to detail, this fish looks like its alive.  He even is about to eat a piece of fresh tako in front of him.  Next fish print a 14-lb. red uhu taken by a local skin diver.  More windy weather with moderate swells up north.  I smell spring in the air very soon.  Time to start packing again!
